One more question on this. Sometimes we want to have PDFs showing up in the lower frame and of course we then still want the submenus to overlap the pdf. How do I do that? I tried to create a link directly to the PDF but  that did not work. 

Please advise.

Best Regards,
Clas

Dear Clas,

I am afraid that this is not possible. The PDF files (as well as Word or Excel files) are using plugins that fully take over the browser and there is no way to show anything on top of them.

The only thing that could work (but I am not sure if it is cross-browser) is if you did not have frames, and instead you used a single HTML page with an iframe in the place of the bottom frame.

Initial Email Subject: Drop downs do not appear
Support Case Month: November 2012

Hi, I have had some contacts with you before and I am getting closer to how I really want it. Yes it takes some time but when doing in spare time it takes longer....

Please find enclosed a site sample I am working on. For some reason some of the Drop down appear correctly and in other cases the "stay behind" the new frame and are not seen.

The site is not complete so you can try: From Index main, go to Produkter (the drop down works fine and also if you continue to "Cope for IMS" it works fine but if you choose "ISPW" the drop down will not show. Why is this? I have tried different ways but I do something wrong. The same goes if you try: "Support" and I also have difficulties when it is a PDF which is to be shown, see under "Nyhetsbrev".

In short how do I get the drop downs to always show in the lower frame? The same question applies for if I do want to have an additional level of frames showing. I ALWAYS want the drop downs to appear in the lower frame when moving the cursor there. What am I doing wrong.

Thanks in advance for your advise.

Best Regards,
Clas

Hello Clas,

You are using the Cross-Frame feature.

When you link your menu, the “menu.js” file should be linked in the top page (as you have already did it), and the “menu_sub.js” should be linked to ALL pages that will be displayed in the bottom frame.

I examined your files and e.g, the “support_txt.html” is not linked with the “menu_sub.js” file.

In contrast, it is linked with the “databmenu_sub.js” file, which does not exist.

Thank you very much for this reply.

Through the Responsive Menu feature you can specify the menu to show a different version of itself  depending on screen size (width). This is very useful when your website uses a responsive web design (RWD) layout.

Each different responsive menu version of the same menu project may have different content, styling or page positioning (at any combination).

How?

Open the "Responsive Menu" property found in "Global Properties"…

...and select "Yes" along with the number of responsive menus that the loaded menu project should use.

A listbox will then appear at the right side of the toolbar:

Through this listbox, you can always select a different "Version" of your menu project (other than the regular "Version 1") to edit. All properties then refer to that particular version of the menu (except of some compile properties that refer to the entire project as a whole). You may then edit these properties to change the content, style or positioning values of that version.You can use the "Copy" and "Paste" functionality on the Structure or Styles among the different versions.

Note that some restrictions apply on this feature:

- You cannot have "responsive menus" when your menu project is of the CSS Menu Genre (to be implemented).
- You cannot have "responsive menus" when your menu project uses the "UL/LI" population method (to be implemented).
- You cannot have "responsive menus" when your menu project uses the "Cross-frame support" feature.

Note that we have more ideas to implement later on this feature (like use of a "combo box" as the smallest responsive menu version, more options to make the "copy & paste" easier between the different menu versions, etc.). Let us know your ideas too!

If I use Mozilla it's ok. - If I use Google Chrome it's ok - but if I use Internet Explorer 9 it's not OK . no Windows appears.
You can test  www.seeshaupt.de

Dear Rudolf,

I did some further testing and it seems that the modal does not always appear when viewing the page in “quirks mode”.

IE will enter “quirks mode” (essentially IE5.5 compatibility mode) if your page does not have a valid DOCTYPE.

Please try changing this:

<html>

To this:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

This will allow IE9 to work in its normal mode, and it will also allow it to support CSS3 features (such as drop-shadows and rounded corners that are not supported in “quirks mode”).

Hi Kostas,

may be a problem with the frame:

www.seeshaupt.de the index.htm is a frame with a link to start-page to  www.seeshaupt.de/Seeshaupt_Start1.htm.

If you call direct this page like www.seeshaupt.de/Seeshaupt_Start1.htm  the windows Modal worked fine

Mit freundlichen Grüßen

Rudolf

Hello again,

So does this resolve your problem? Or do you need to keep the frame and still make it work?

If you need the frame, did you try adding proper DOCTYPE in both your pages? (the parent page and the inner framed page)

Hi Kostas

A lot of thanks.

Now Windows Modal worked fine with IE9.

Solution: only in the frame (e.g Index.htm) is necessary to include the Doctype.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen

Please can you help my, i have a problem with about Modal Windows Builder

I have create a new website in frames (I know oldschool

1) In Firefox there is no problem, in IE and all other browsers opens the windows white Photo's in the frame from het menu (allwebmenus)

Example: http://www.detailinbeeld.nl/cursussen/voorbeelden/index.htmlclick on de button "VOORBEELDEN"

I send you in de attachment the Modal Windows and the AllWebmenu files i use

2) How do u change the time between sheet 1 and sheet 2?

3) If i change the size from the page numbers on the navigation bar is OK when I press PREVIEW F5 but in all browsers it's to big

I hope you know what i mean, my English is not so good.

Regards from Holland

Met vriendelijke groet,

Leon

Dear Leon,

1) I checked your page and I see that the problem appears in IE8 or older. I am afraid that this is due to a security issue of older IE versions. I do not believe that it is possible to resolve this. It may help if you add a proper DOCTYPE (currently you do not have any). Please try replacing this:

<html>

With this:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

2) Are you referring to the transition time? If so, this can be changed in the “Multi-Sheet” options:

3) So, for the navigation bar, you see a different font size in the preview than in your browser? Can you please send me:

                i) a screenshot of what you see in the preview and the browser

                ii) the modal project (use “Project -> Export -> To ZIP”)

                iii) the URL so that I can check it myself

Kostas

Dear Leon,

I am afraid that the frame issue cannot be resolved…

I talked to our developer team and they told me that we already have all known ways of “breaking out of frames” inside the modal library.

The only solution would be to not use frames I guess…  (in any case they are considered a very old technology and will be obsolete soon)

Regarding the font-size in the modal, I am guessing that you were changing the font-size for the “navigationBarText” class. This however only applies to the “label” and not the page numbers. To fix this, you need to also apply the font size to the “navigationBarSheetSection” class:
